Copyright controversy: the Kumbati label puts the debate on the table

The issue of copyright has always been a hot topic within the African music scene. Over time, many African music legends have ended their careers in abject poverty. This sad reality has fueled an ongoing debate, prompting industry stakeholders and experts to meet regularly at conferences and trade shows to find lasting solutions.

It is in this context that expert Saran Cissoko, daughter of Guinean legend Sayon Camara, reopens the sensitive issue of copyright. What if African artists could finally better understand, protect, and promote the fruits of their creativity?

It is precisely around this essential issue that Kumbati-Podcast is situated , an initiative led by Saran Cissoko to place the question of copyright at the heart of discussions on the future of the African music industry. In a sector where works now cross all borders thanks to digital technology, intellectual property protection remains a major challenge. Behind every song, every composition, and every creation lie hours of work, talent, and personal investment that deserve recognition and fair compensation.

Through this project, Saran Cissoko aims to actively contribute to raising awareness among artists and cultural professionals about the importance of intellectual property, securing copyrighted works, and ensuring fair compensation for creators. The discussion is now open to the general public and music lovers, allowing them to discover and better understand the rights and value of artists' work.
